In addition to the unique live event, ‘the VWE Live Hammer Auction’, we offer you the opportunity to purchase vehicles from home and abroad 24/7. For this, you can click on the link ‘Trade and Auction Offer’ in ‘My VWE’. In your own Automotive Trade CenterThis environment can be offered to you directly. Do you want to be able to bid and buy/sell vehicles anytime and anywhere? Unfortunately, this is not yet possible via the Automotive Trade Center mobile app. However, you can bid via your mobile phone by visiting our website in your browser.

Don't have time to follow the auction “Live” but still want to bid? Then use the automatic bid. You enter a maximum bid yourself to determine up to what amount you will bid. Your set maximum bid will then be compared with the bid of other bidders and will be automatically increased to ensure you remain the highest bidder. Please note: This does not mean that the maximum bid amount will actually be reached.

Only if the status is ‘sold’ have you won the vehicle. If this is not the case, the seller is still considering whether they want to sell the vehicle.

Not provisional The vehicle is not being sold.

Provisional If your highest bid is below the seller's minimum price, the so-called reserve price, the vehicle will not be sold. We will then contact the seller to discuss your bid and see if we can still reach a deal. If the sale goes ahead, we will let you know as soon as possible.

Yes, every placed bid is binding and cannot be retracted. However, if you are outbid and no longer have the highest bid, then your bid is no longer binding.
